Who Rides the Dark Track? Returning on a cross-country train trip from a prestigious speaking engagement with his occult-minded colleagues, Sgt. Janus encounters one of the most haunting, most dangerous spirits of his career-and must deal with his abject failure to contain it.

He must take the Dark Track. Only hinted at in the tomes in Janus' occult library, the Dark Track is not to be ridden lightly, and in fact threatens to alter its passengers beyond recognition. Join the sergeant and his intrepid companion Valerie as he pushes all his doubts and fears aside and makes a momentous decision-to forget all he knows and everything he's learned to confront the darkness in an entirely new way.

The train will soon be leaving the station...do you dare to get on board?
